'अ डिफरेंट वर्ल्ड' का संचालन अश्वेत महिलाओं—डेबी एलेन और इवेट ली बाउसर—द्वारा किया जाता था। मुख्य लेखिका सूसी फेल्स-हिल मेरी आदर्श थीं, क्योंकि जब वह टेलीविज़न के सबसे बेहतरीन शो में से एक को संभाल रही थीं, तब वह सिर्फ़ 28 साल की थीं। हर दिन काम पर जाना और अश्वेत महिलाओं को नेतृत्व करते देखना मेरे लिए एक आम बात बन गई थी।

A Different World was run by black women, Debbie Allen and Yvette Lee Bowser. Lead writer Susie Fales-Hill was a hero of mine, because she was 28 when she was running one of the top shows on television. Going to work every day and seeing black women in charge made that normal to me.

कॉलम लिखने के मामले में, एक-दो अपवादों को छोड़ दें, तो मुझे शायद एक पत्रकार के तौर पर मिलने वाली सबसे बेहतरीन फीस मिलती है। इस सफलता का कुछ श्रेय मेरी मोलभाव करने की क्षमता को भी जाता है। इस खेल का मुख्य नियम यह है कि आप पैसे मांगें और जब वे कोई रकम बताएं, तो आप कहें, "नहीं, मुझे इससे ज्यादा चाहिए।"

कभी-कभार कुछ चीज़ें इसलिए सपना नहीं लगतीं क्योंकि आपको असल में उनके सच होने की उम्मीद ही नहीं होती। इसलिए मेरा रोज़ का मक़सद बस काम पर जाना और ऐसा इंसान बनना होता है जिसके साथ लोग रहना पसंद करें। मैं बस कड़ी मेहनत करना चाहती हूँ और लोगों के साथ अच्छे से पेश आना चाहती हूँ, और मुझे लगता है कि जब आप लोगों से इस तरह थोड़े व्यक्तिगत स्तर पर जुड़ते हैं, तो अगले दिन वे काम पर आपके लिए खड़े होते हैं। और तभी ऐसे मौके सामने आते हैं जिनकी आपने उम्मीद भी नहीं की होती।

Sometimes things aren't a dream because you don't really think it's a possibility. So my goal on a daily basis is just to go to work and be someone that people like to be around. I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you. And that's when an opportunity comes that you wouldn't have even expected otherwise.

जब मैंने निर्देशन करना शुरू किया, तो मुझे यह समझ और एहसास हुआ कि संगीत, नृत्य और रंगमंच में मैंने जो कुछ भी सीखा था, वह सब एक निर्देशक के रूप में एक जगह आकर मिल रहा है, और मुझे इसमें मज़ा आने लगा। और धीरे-धीरे मैंने अभिनय करना छोड़ दिया।

व्यक्तिगत रूप से मैं ज़िंदगी के एक ऐसे दिलचस्प दोराहे पर हूँ। मैं अब अपना ध्यान ग्रहों की खोज से हटाकर यूसी बर्कले के 'एक्स्ट्रा-टेरेस्ट्रियल इंटेलिजेंस' (SETI) कार्यक्रम की ओर लगाना चाहता हूँ। मैं खुद को बहुत खुशनसमत मानता हूँ कि मेरा करियर उतना सफल रहा जिसकी मैंने कभी कल्पना भी नहीं की थी। अब वक्त आ गया है कि मैं जोखिम उठाऊँ और कुछ ऐसा आज़माऊँ जिसके सफल होने की संभावना बहुत कम हो। युवा वैज्ञानिक इस दांव पर अपना सब कुछ नहीं लगा सकते, क्योंकि यदि आप अपना समय SETI में लगाएंगे, तो आपके सफल होने की संभावना कम होती है। लेकिन मेरे पास यह सुविधा है। कुछ ऐसे प्रयोग हैं जिन्हें हम महान गैलेक्टिक इंटरनेट की तलाश में कर सकते हैं।

I'm at a funny crossroads, personally. I really want to turn my attention away from planet-hunting towards Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) program at UC-Berkeley. I'm in this lucky position that my career has been more successful than I could have ever imagined. It's time for me to roll the dice, try something that's a long shot. Younger scientists can't put their eggs in that basket, because if you spend your time on SETI, your chances of success are low. But I have the luxury. There are some experiments we can do to hunt for the great galactic Internet.
